In Ireland our first bed and breakfast was Tara Farms in Kenmare. It was a beautiful quintessential Irish B&B and along with the weather and the landscape, I felt like I was living in a fairy tail! When leaving, I snapped a picture of the proprietor of the property in the ‘front room’. She reminded me of a reality in my fairy tale experience: she spends her days working, cooking and hosting travelers so others can make memories for a life time! Thank you Mrs Haybury!

What interested me in this image were the patterns in the rug, couch, and pillows that seemed an interesting juxtaposition between the bland solidness of the woman’s garments.
